Anyone interested in philosophical exploration is welcome to become a member of this forum. No prior acquaintance or knowledge of philosophy is required.
When does this start?
Barefoot Chat was launched on 3 October at 3 pm with a webinar discussion led by Dr Sundar Sarukkai and other members of Barefoot Philosophers team on the topic “What do we see?”

We are underway a unique process to have a public discussion and debate around this often confusing question. The final responses will be published on www.barefootphilosophers.com to create a platform for discussion.
